Well the gun came pretty well sighted in from the factory for 100 yards. I was able to put 7 out of 8 rounds into a paper plate at 100 yards with open sights. This is no small feet for me as I do not normally shoot at 100 yards. These were the first 8 rounds I fired from the gun.
I did notice that at 25 yards I had to aim a bit high to get things on target, probably due to the height of the stock iron sights off of the barrel. Once that was accomplished it grouped pretty well off hand at both 25 and 50 yards.
The most important thing to me though was that it functioned 100% through 130 rounds and three magazines. Two GI, used 30 rounders and the Bushy 10 round neutered mag.
All in all two very big thumbs up.
Julie was able to put 4 out of 5 shots into a paper plate at 50 yards off hand. This was awesome as she normally doesn't shoot that far and was having a little trouble with the weight of the heavy barrel. I was so proud of her. She refused to sit and rest the gun while firing because she wanted to shoot standing and off hand because resting the is "cheating". God bless her. Yep she is all mine.
Anyway just wanted to post that not only do I feel good about sending Bushmaster some of my money for political reasons but also to report that I think they make a darn fine product.
